• Was in touch with Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer over the weekend regarding Saturday's HBO PPV undercard. Of course, Zab Judah was supposed to fight Antonio Diaz in the televised opener, but Judah bailed for no good reason, leaving Golden Boy in a tough spot just a couple of weeks before the show. The company first tried to find a new opponent for Diaz, then looked around for an entirely new fight and then considered going with just three televised bouts. Ultimately, Schaefer said Golden Boy decided to elevate the featherweight match between Orlando Cruz and Cornelius Lock to television.
"We could have gone with the three fights but felt that it makes sense to add Cruz versus Lock," Schaefer said. It could be a decent scrap, albeit not the most meaningful fight ever. One of the key reasons it wound up with the coveted TV slot once Judah-Diaz fell out is because Lock is one of Mayweather's fighters. The other two bouts are stellar: the Chris John-Rocky Juarez featherweight title rematch and a very interesting lightweight fight between Vicente Escobedo and Michael Katsidis.
